“I don't stay behind my desk”.
In a long interview with
Le
Progrès
this Thursday morning, Grégory Doucet returns to the security problems in the Guillotière district.
In particular on the attacks to which he has been regularly the object since his accession to the town hall of Lyon.
Too lax?
"I am not hiding behind my little finger", he defends himself, recalling having "taken the decision to assign a lot more municipal police force".
“There are municipal police officers, who come from all over the city, twice a day, to La Guillotière.
The mobilization of the municipal police is at the maximum of what the workforce can do without undressing all the rest of the districts, ”continues the city councilor, recalling always waiting for the reinforcements promised by the Ministry of the Interior.
"It is not enough to bring in CRS coaches"
"We can not say that things are not moving", nevertheless insists the mayor of Lyon, welcoming in passing the "number of investigations, arrests and imprisonment".
But, "no magic wand exists" to settle "a subject of this magnitude", he laments.
Believing that "it is not enough to bring in CRS coaches", the elected ecologist announced that a consultation on urban development will be launched in the coming days.
The municipality also plans to pedestrianize the top of the rue de Marseille.
It remains to be seen whether his answers will appease the anger of residents.
The traders of the district, considering themselves "abandoned", have already announced that they will lower their curtains on Thursday, October 20 at 3 pm in order to signify their discontent and their "revolt".
